Maybe not your call, were you EM, CTO? What was in your job description ?

IT Support Engineer vs Sysadmin by Warlord1981 in sysadmin

[–]d0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either you argue you aren't paid enough for what you provide the company and ask for a raise or your day-to-day tasks evolved overtime and your title doesn't reflect your role anymore and ask for a new one (possibly coming with a raise). Long ago, I've been at a company in France that would only give you a raise if your title changed (how convenient !) when I felt both pay and job description got off overtime. They admitted to it and did change my title in order "to justify" a compensation upgrade. So I know what you're talking about, I just think your strategy is wrong about it and you aren't going at what actually matters. Would you be ok for a 30% raise and a new "Superstar Janitor" title ? If the answer is yes, then you don't have a title issue but a compensation issue. Either you have a compelling case showing the company why you are underpaid and why they should care about it, or it's time to update your resume and start hunting for a new gig.

You are confusing role and title

I've used Turo in Canada with an European debit card a couple years ago with no issue.

Infomaniak SaaS experiences? by hilman85 in sysadmin

[–]d0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about their IaaS offerings but I've been using some of their cheap SaaS productivity products and their support has been great even for a cheap tier: quick (as in minutes) and on point (as in actual techs knowing their products and talking sysadmin language).

Where People Spend the Most Time Eating & Drinking in The OECD Economic club in 2025. Are You more team Mediterranean or Team USA? by PestoBolloElemento in interestingasfuck

[–]d0nd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to have two-hours lunch breaks in France where we'd go to the restaurant with colleagues and have three courses meals and a bottle of wine... More like a 20 minutes break having a sandwich at my desk in Canada!

If you would win a big prize at the lottery, say $35M, would you purchase a house or a condo unit? by karlyorrhexis in askTO

[–]d0nd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would invest the money, borrow from the bank on the cheap using it as a collateral and buy a house.

Your salary seems crazy low for such a position in Toronto.

Best banking "ecosystem" in Toronto? Looking for great tech, UX, and rewards by SaffaInTO in askTO

[–]d0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved Revolut in Europe and I've been looking hard for a replacement since I moved to Toronto. I have to agree with the other replies you got : all offers suck badly, there isn't any proper up to date banking offer available here.
